 Ok, /Volumes/PEluard/opt/local/bin/meson is not visible to the port
 because MacPorts doesn't think it was installed by a port and because you
 have enabled trace mode (`-t`).

 Users were never intended to replace /opt/local by a symlink. You may have
 discovered another of the surprising ways in which this can fail. I
 haven't looked into it but off the top of my head I'm not sure why this is
 happening or how it might be corrected, short of either not using trace
 mode or removing the symlink and moving /Volumes/PEluard/opt/local back to
 /opt/local.
